This repository contains a structured collection of cybersecurity technical notes, developed through study and hands-on practice on Hack The Box (HTB). It is part of my university training and preparation for professional cybersecurity internships.
Beyond theoretical notes, this repository is designed as a real working tool, actively used to solve HTB machines, labs, and practical scenarios by combining theory, commands, and methodology.
The main objective of this repository is to demonstrate:
- Ability for self-directed and continuous learning
- Clear organization of complex technical knowledge
- A practical and methodological pentesting approach
- Use of documentation as direct support when solving machines
- A process-oriented mindset, not just tool usage
This repository reflects how I work, not just what I know.
The content follows the same logic as a real penetration testing workflow, clearly separating theory, execution, and decision-making.

Contains theoretical notes based on HTB Academy modules:
- Networking, operating systems, Linux, Windows, Active Directory, etc.
- Personal summaries focused on understanding the reasoning behind techniques
- Designed for quick consultation while solving machines
Contains the operational side of the knowledge:
- Real commands used in HTB labs
- Enumeration, exploitation, and post-exploitation techniques
- Reproducible examples
- Files organized by technology and attack phase
This is where theory from Academy is applied in practice.
The Modus Operandi files act as decision-flow guides:
- Indicate what to do at each phase
- Link directly to the relevant command files
- Help maintain context during machine resolution
- Reduce improvisation and reinforce structured reasoning
This approach is what I use to solve HTB machines in a systematic way, not by trial and error.
- The repository is fully functional on GitHub:
- Navigable indexes
- Standard Markdown links
- Properly referenced images
- However, the best user experience is achieved in Obsidian, as it provides:
- Graph-based visualization
- Native wikilinks
- Non-linear knowledge navigation
This repository is originally created in Obsidian and later adapted for GitHub without losing usability.
The scripts used to convert these notes from Obsidian to a GitHub-compatible format (wikilinks, indexes, anchors, and images) are maintained in a separate personal repository:
🔗 https://github.com/lameiro0x/obsidian-to-github-md
That repository includes:
- Automatic conversion of wikilinks to Markdown
- GitHub-compatible index generation
- Anchor normalization
- Image path handling
This repository focuses exclusively on the technical content, not the conversion tooling.
These notes are not just documentation:
- They are actively used when solving HTB machines
- They allow fast transition from theory → action
- They enable technique reuse across different scenarios
- They reinforce methodological consistency
They represent a realistic way of working in cybersecurity.
This repository is a work in progress.
The Hack The Box Academy Pentesting Path is not yet fully completed, and this repository is continuously updated as I advance through the path.
The final objective of this project is to have a complete, structured, and practical knowledge base covering the entire HTB Academy Pentesting Path, serving both as a personal reference and as a demonstration of my learning process and methodology in offensive security.
All content has been developed exclusively in:
- Controlled and legal environments
- Hack The Box educational labs
- With no use against real or unauthorized systems
Computer Engineering student with a strong interest in Cybersecurity, combining academic training with intensive hands-on practice.
This repository is part of my technical portfolio for university internships and early professional opportunities in cybersecurity.
